ACADEMIC PROGRAMMES
OVERVIEW
B.Tech
The programme’s central goals are to impart fundamentals of professional engineering to the young
students. The admission to these programs is carried out through the Joint Entrance Exam (IITJEE) one
of the toughest examinations in the world,with a 0.8% average acceptance ratio into the IITs from a
pool of 10,00,000 students. A two semester project in the final year is also a part of the curriculum.
Aimed at inculcating a sense of original research amongst the students,it also gives them an exposure
to state of the art,technology and cutting edge research undertaken in the institute.
Dual Degree
The Dual Degree programme, a unique ten semester programme, confers a B.Tech in a basic field of
engineering with an M.Tech in specialized areas. The students complete additional courses in the area
of specialization and a yearlong project under the guidance of a professor.
IDDD
New Interdisciplinary Dual Degree Programs aims at equipping student from any branch to specialize
in the following field of their interest thus broadening the domain of their knowledge.
1. Advanced materials And Nano Technology
2. Biomedical Engineering
3. Computational Engineering
4. Data Science
5. Energy Systems
6. Robotics
M.Tech
This four-semester program, offered by twelve departments, developed to provide graduates with a
synergetic combination of industry-oriented course work and research. Graduate students in various
fields of engineering are admitted to various specializations through GATE {Graduate Aptitude Test
in Engineering). The academic curriculum includes core courses and electives to develop a strong
theoretical base along with a final-year project and seminars. Admitted graduates may have prior
work experience.
04

M.S (by research)
MS (By Research) is a postgraduate level Research Program. MS Scholars pursue research in various
contemporary domains, leading to submission of a thesis, which is peer reviewed. The research
work often results in publications in reputed national and international conferences and journals.
Admission to this program is via GATE Score, followed by a written test and interview at the institute
in relevant stream. Tentative time for completion is 2-3 years.
PhD
PhD is a rigorous research program, for which admission is through a comprehensive evaluation
of a candidate’s ability by a written test and an interview process. Completion of PhD establishes a
candidate’s ability to pursue independent basic or applied research, and prepares him/her for a career
in industry, academia or research laboratories. The research carried out is quite rigorous in nature, and
leads to publications in reputed international journals and conferences and the PhD thesis is peer
reviewed by eminent researchers in relevant fields. Tentative time for completion is 4-5 years.
M.Sc
This four semester programme takes the best science graduates of the country through JAM (Joint
Admission Test to M.Sc). On an average,only 4% of the aspiring candidates are admitted to this
programme offered by the Ills. The program is developed to impart essential knowledge in the
respective departments and provide opportunities for specialization in all major areas.
M.B.A.
The two year management education at IIT Madras offers a distinct learning environment with a diverse
academic programme being offered on the campus. Being a part of IIT ecosystem, MBA students
would learn from interactions with leading thought leaders across industry verticals. Concentrating
on the main functional areas of management - Finance, HR&OB, Information Systems, Integrative
Management, Marketing and Operations, students are also given a strong orientation towards the
use of analytical tools and techniques.
M.A
The unique five year integrated programme, launched in 2006, leads to Master of Arts degree in three
major streams - Development Studies, Economics, and English Studies. The MA Program exposes
students to a wide variety of disciplines in Social Sciences and Humanities, moving on to develop
strong analytical communication and research skills in the relevant stream through applied project
quantitative subjects and a firm theoretical backing.
